No. Glowstone is meant to be hard to get. If you don't like how it is, then you can either go pumpkin hunting or use glass containers. (Or better yet, some netherrack in glass :/) A source of underwater and monster-affecting light is SUPPOSED to be rare. Deal with it.
Gameplay: 5/10
If everybody has glowstone, what's special about it? When I build huge glowstone-lit streets on SMP, it's considered incredible and a sign of hard work. If you want more glowstone, be more careful when harvesting and kill the ghasts beforehand.

Not overly creative to whine about glowstone, but I haven't seen something exactly like this for a while.
Effort: 5/10
:sleep.gif: You didn't even suggest how to fix this "problem" and you obviously don't care about glowstone needing to be rare. The post barely makes a paragraph, and I can't see tons of effort in it.

Verdict: A somewhat lacking suggestion, it needs work. My thoughts so far are that Glowstone is meant to be hard to get. If you don't like how it is, then you can either go pumpkin hunting or use glass containers.

As it being a novelty item, a very cool block, that glows, and hurts mobs, it's fine.
But as a required element for permanent light? It's completely unbalanced. It takes me hours, dangerous as hell hours mind you, to get like 10 to 15 blocks, it also takes, tons of cobblestone, to make towers to safely get to it, it takes tons of wood, for said tools, it takes tons of food, and arrows, and the Ghasts have absolutely TOO much range compared to you, either the Ghast range needs to be halved, or we need a crossbow.
NO ONE EVER SAID PERMANENT LIGHT WOULD REQUIRE GLOWSTONE SO QUIT BITCHING PLEASE
Honestly I don't know how this rumor started. Notch never said it would. Also you can build a nether portal on your first day. We had a competition on a SMP server and someone made a portal In 12 minutes. Then another person finished in 15. Then 17. It;'s really easy to make a portal if you put your mind to it. And then there is plenty of lightstone in the nether once you get there. But it doesn't matter because LANTERNS WON'T REQUIRE LIGHTSTONE
If I helped in any way, don't click that little green +, instead tell me how much you liked the post. (Only those who are incapable of earning rep the hard way have to beg for it in their signatures).
Really have to agree that ghasts are overpowered. Basically infinite range, the ability to fly, and an explosive attack make them formidable. Our only protection is f5.

Chickens are spawning in my house! Help! PLEASE!
Your house has been compromised therefore you must blow it to hell.
Glowstone is obviously a prized item among players. I always thought that it was interesting how you had to figure out how to get to some of that precious stuff, and I think it's hard to get for a reason. It wouldn't be much fun if it was just laying around on the ground, right?
I'm not saying I ENJOY building a massive stone tower to get to it and I DEFINITELY do not enjoy seeing the item I worked so hard to get fall into the lava below. I just think its challenging and it should remain hard to reach.
I would agree it's too hard to get before the lightstone nerd. Now it's absolutely easy. Getting a stack of it takes say an hour, which isn't much time unless you use it literally EVERYWHERE. I wouldn't mind making it a little harder to get.

It's just not as easy as 1-2-3.
All you have to do is pier and make a platform.
Even what you only got 1 glowstone dust it wasn't that difficult.
I considered that. But now that I have another person saying so, I propose we stop posting on this outdated junkyard and
/thread
I think it looks ugly.
depends what texture pack your using XD
Muncher! I missed you!(No I didn't.)
Also, the Minecraft wiki says that Notch *hinted* at glowstone being a requirement for lanterns, but no confirmation.
